Overview

Сonsumption of materials used during the manufacturing process is often performed after the manufacturing is completed.

A backflush approach is used to measure actual consumption by counting or weighing resources that were used last time.

During the process, the actual quantity of materials left in the shop floor must be taken into account as a basis.

Consumption can be controlled with standards based on the BOM data and the quantity of goods manufactured.

As a result of the process, a certain amount of material stock is charged as production costs (WIP costs).
